Drought officially returns to Colorado; limited respite in sight

August 17, 2016 / Ben Castellani

Summer is the one time of year when you don’t need us meteorologists. You already know the weather for today (and everyday) will start sunny, warm into the 90’s, then promptly cloud up and produce a brief storm which generates a “just okay” rainbow before another stunning Colorado sunset. If it feels like we’ve been enjoying a much nicer, less rainbow-filled summer than normal, you’re not alone, nor imagining things. It’s been dry. Historically dry.

We discuss the official return of drought to Colorado and provide our thoughts on the outlook heading into September.

As we rapidly sprint towards the end of meteorological summer and the conclusion of Colorado’s wet season, the weather for the week ahead will not sway much from what we have come to expect. Chances of rain will be there, but not substantial. We’re also tracking yet another fall-like cool-down just in time for the weekend. Continue reading for our outlook for the upcoming week.

Following four days of unseasonably cool temperatures, this week begins warm as moderately-moist southwest flow dominates the region. By mid-week, moisture associated with two tropical cyclones spreads into Colorado alongside a cold front from the north. With this, we’ll see storm chances increase and temperatures fall once again. Read on for our complete weekly outlook.

After a very dry stretch through much of July, this week will feature a strong shift in the weather pattern that will allow for monsoonal moisture to spread in from the southwest, leading to chances for thunderstorms each day. Outside of the storms, temperatures will also warm each day with highs climbing back into the 90’s. Read on for our full forecast and which days we expect the best likelihood of monsoon rainfall.

Monsoon set to make triumphant return early next week

This afternoon’s thundershowers were a welcomed reminder of what July in Colorado could and should be like, weather which we have been hoping for over the last few weeks. Thankfully, Mother Nature has a few promising changes in-store for the near-future, beginning early next week with the resurgence of monsoon moisture to the region.

After a weekend filled with sunshine, heat and wildfires, the week ahead will feature a slight cool-down across northern Colorado as zonal flow takes center-stage. With this, rain chances will be minimal and confined to the end of the week. Continue reading for a recap of the recent dry weather and our complete forecast for the upcoming week.

A large part of the last few weeks have seen hot weather with many days in the 90’s, and even our first 100-degree day! This week, the ridge that has been a mainstay will slowly edge to the south and west of Colorado. This will lead to cooler temperatures and increasing chances of rain and storms, primarily from Wednesday through Friday. Read on for our complete week-ahead forecast.

Following a weekend of searing heat, this week’s temperatures will feel a little more comfortable at times. Despite the large-scale ridge remaining in place across the Southwestern USA, it will weaken a tad, and as a result, open the gates for a pair of backdoor cold fronts to enter northeast Colorado. Continue reading for our complete weekly outlook, including when we may see record heat, and which days bring the chance of rain to cool us off.
